California Chrome wins 140th Kentucky Derby

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- California Chrome pulled away down the stretch for a dominant win the 140th Kentucky Derby on Saturday at Churchill Downs. Taking charge at the top of the lane, California Chrome and jockey Victor Espinoza made a decisive move and quickly sprinted clear. They finished the 1 1/4 miles in 2:03.66. The 5-2 favorite stretched his winning streak to five and Art Sherman, 77, became the oldest winning Derby trainer. In a game dominated by millionaires and billionaires, this was a victory for the little guys.
